Arrow Driver side window locked up. Help pls

My driver side window motor was working fine just two days ago and it was strong had no hesitation moving the window and now it won't go up or down. The switch is good it seems to be fine. Any ideas or tips to get this thing working again please let me know

Open up the switch and clean/polish the contacts. Undo the 3 screws and open the switch in the upright position. Be careful not to drop the pieces inside. The switches in FCs do not use relays, and in turn carry all the current to the window motors. This causes the contacts to burn up.
